🦸♀️Raising Autism Awareness - Superhero Day 🦸
On Friday 10th February we had Superhero Dress Up Day in Fort Hill IPS. We had a mixture of Superhero masks, full costumes and even some Superhero hairstyles! We asked for a voluntary £1 donation to sponsor our Superheroes at Autism NI.
“We need your support to deliver services and support autistic individuals and their families. There are currently 1 in 22 school aged children in Northern Ireland being diagnosed with autism. Schools and youth organisations therefore play a massive part in promoting autism awareness and peer support.” Autism NI
As you know, all schools have many children, staff or both on the Autism Spectrum. We opened our Autism Specific Class two years ago and we also integrate children who have autism throughout our mainstream classes. We, with your help, raised an amazing £1042 on that day with the families of our Autism class raising £806 of this through sponsorship forms. Mr Keith Pyper from Autism NI visited today to collect the mony raised and was extremely appreciative.
